Analysis of Denial



Commitment cemented to live in denial.
And creating a lifestyle of one's truth,
Completely from its roots deluded.
Has not proven beneficial,
To anyone's mental health.

As witnessed these days in the midst of 2021.
No longer to stun anyone enlightened.
Anyone who has welcomed,
A consciousness blessed to receive.
Knowing to have it exposed and shown as is.
REALITY!

A REALITY
So many with minds distanced to accept.
Yet...
Threatened by truth.
And the freedom to use common sense.
Has severely detached...
The very ones creating,
Conflict, division and racial attacks on others.

With this to do to claim,
Their fictionalized lives to delude...
Has a lot to do these tumultuous days,
For them being incapable to accept...
The reality and truth they wish to evade,
Erase and eliminate as if to separate from it.
In the hope that facts,
And the evidence of their existence.
Is a completely removed.
From all minds to do.

With this done to replace a history revealed,
As something to fake their cause and reason...
Why so many,
Have found it easy to demonstrate craze.
And being out of their minds.
Freely exposing,
What truth does to ignore the reality of it!

Although...
Prepared they are to fight,
Like warriors with shields and sticks.
For the right to sell and keep marketed...
Animated delusions worshipped to celebrate.
And protest they do.
With absolutely no sense to make,
Against a diversity they depend upon.
While faking themselves to be superior.
Yet displaying acts of having psychological,
And deep embedded childish insecurities!
